Guild Wars 2

Not sure this is in the right subforum, since apparently the official forum has no roleplaying subforum? That seems a little strange to me, but is beside the main point:

How about some more ‘How to roleplay as ____" blogposts? I found the “How to roleplay as a Revenant” blog entry really useful, although a little on the short side, and would love some more of the same for the elite specializations. How does one roleplay as a mesmer who controls time, for example? What exactly is a ’Reaper’ for your character in-world, and how do they differ from normal necromancers?

What do you think? Could we use more blogposts like this outlining tips for these sorts of things?

Mesmers, in general, are one of the most overpowered in terms of lore/RP. Their problem is less of people unknowingly or knowingly godmodding, but that the class is just that crazy. Mass illusions, confusion, etc, that’s their home turf.

I think it’d be neat, but in a sense, a little redundant maybe? I mean, most classes end up having a huge range of ‘archtypes’ that you can use already. I feel the Revenant one was done mostly to clear up WHAT they are. Like for example, me and friends kept going back and forth with “I wonder how exactly they work. Is it a dead person who has come back from the mists?”
